I agree. Probably a 1 & 1A situation with him and Geno though. Then everyone else.

It appears they are still not making any attempts to fix the O-Line, especially Center, so I'm afraid we will lose another one. 21-17 Broncos.

I didn't take the time to read all of page 2, but if nobody else has mentioned this, I just saw last night on MNF at the bottom of the screen that DeMarcus Ware is having surgery on his arm and expects to miss 4-5 weeks, so I guess that helps a bit for this week...

I think this game will start a run that will take us all the way up to NE, where our will will be tested once again.
28-24 Bengals

I fully expect to see the Bengals beat the Broncos. Not only is it our home opener, but we usually play well the game after a loss especially when that loss is to a divisional rival.
I don't expect our offense to blow the Broncos out of the water (there's no doubt that they still have a Super Bowl caliber defense), but I do expect our defense to do a better job against Denver's O than they did against the Steelers (which they did a really good job of for MOST of the game).

The over under is 41, I believe the last 4 (could
Be 6) Broncos game have hit the under.
Don't see how some are predicting some of these very high scores 35-28, 26-24, etc

I want Bengals to WIN.....but.....If we don't get the running game going, Bengals will get clobbered....At some point defenses are going to notice we aren't even trying to run, and they will just tee off on Dalton until he is in the hospital like Carson...If we only run a few times against Denver as we did Jets and Steelers, we could get killed.....Come on Zampese, you have to run more, and not just that delayed hand off garbage. MORE POWER RUNNING NEEDED.

Certainly won't be easy. The Broncos currently lead the league giving up only 3.3 yards per carry. For comparison, the Jets are currently 3rd at 3.6 yards per carry, while the Steelers are 6th at 3.8.

It seems about right (and it's also under 41). Just have a bad feeling about this one and the season in general.

Yeah, I'm not sure the Broncos are the team you want to start establishing the run against. As the week goes on, I feel less and less confident about this game. Something tells me Von Miller is going to have a performance reminiscent of the Super Bowl.

We get smoked. Our OLine gets dominated by a real NFL caliber DLine. Andy gets a concussion. AJ Green blows his Achilles. I'm not even going to mention our Defense, but you get the picture.
Broncos- 31
Bengals- 16
